the learning modules are to provide the studentswith (a) an alternate insight into heat transfer concepts that are covered in a traditionalundergraduate course, including steady-state heat conduction, transient heat conduction, and heatconduction through a semi-infinite medium, (b) a basic knowledge of finite element theory, and(c) the ability to apply commercial finite element software to engineering problems involvingthermal systems. From an instructor’s point-of-view, the implementation of the learningmodules should result in minimal impact on the course content and schedule by not requiring theelimination of other content in order to make room for the learning modules.

the transitive property in mathematics, transitivity as a social construct posits that if Achooses B as a friend, and B chooses C as a friend, then A will choose C as a friend.15 Researchhas demonstrated that the transitivity principle applies in about 70-80% of all cases across manyand varied small group situations.22 Groups, including SELECT, recruit their members primarilythrough social contacts. Since most social contacts tend to be with similar others, groups tend tobe homogenous. The more homogeneous these sets of people are, the more their relationshipstend to be with similar others.14-17 Voluntary organizations in particular, such as the SELECTstudied here, historically are characterized by extreme racial and gender segregation

A schematic (Figure 1) ofthe system was distributed by the lead instructor, who provided additional project specificationsand assumptions to be made: 1. The collector is made of a PVC tube array (21.33-mm outside diameter or ½” standard size PVC pipe). The tank is painted black and situated above the PVC solar collection tubes (also painted black for maximum sun energy absorption) and to be located outdoors. 2. The design is based on the following assumptions: a. We would like to raise the water temperature by 12 degrees Celsius. b. Average time duration for active water heating
